from the description on spingear:
About the price. Considering the current demand for size D bearing remover in 2024, we are unable to meet the minimum order quantity required for mass production, so we have set the price as a limited production product.
Currently, it is not possible to reproduce in small lots, so sales will end as soon as stock runs out.
I still do not think is a good excuse for a similar price, just let it be sold out as every other product in the market
Also this sentence probably explain itself that the price of the tool in reality is very low as it should be mass produced.
But also I am a proper Don Quixote and I like to fight the windmills
I think this is the only version of this bearing remover that exists for d bearings, it’s made by a company that also machines yoyos and so i assume it’s a specialty product, not saying the price is … entirely justified but ultimately if you want one of these for d bearings this is probably your only chance…
Or the bearing seat.
They are a better tool for the job than pliers or a metal rod (purpose built or otherwise). Better enough to be worth the cost? YMMV.
Since this image represents less than half of my collection……if/when, I decide to play ‘let’s switch some bearings around’, $55 for a very functional bearing removal tool, is Peanuts. (C bearings/over 90 percent of my 1500+ yo-yos are C size).
I either have, have had, have tried, just about every bearing extraction tool/method.
There are other less expensive methods such as the 1/4 drill bit and the stainless rod and the inexpensive Yoyofactory multi tool.
But the top dog C bearing remover is tool in Albertinos pic.
But…. Not for $159… lol
It looks like that bearing removal tool expands from the inside grabbing the bearing. Is that true? In that case it might be a great tool that help prevent damaging the yoyo itself.
That is the way it works…
The business end of the tool is 1/4 inch. That projection has 4 slots cut in it. The knurled tube has an internal thread in it. The screw/rod has a reduced projection on it. As the knurled cap on the back of the tool is turned clockwise, the end forces the slotted end to expand, locking the bearing for easy removal. Simple but effective.
The $55 isn’t the cost of a ‘neat idea’.
Considering the machine work, the knurling , the anodizing… and, the efficiency of the tool, the price is very reasonable. Especially if you consider, short of losing the tool, it will last for about 1000 years😂
I would probably buy the C/D version but it appears to be unavailable. I have very few throws with size D bearing.
Actually, I don’t generally have an issue removing bearings with the tools I have.
Interesting thread. Thanks for the info, Doc.
This is MAD
LOL that almost has to be displaying the yen price in usd. Even then that’s still 700 bucks…Crazy
yall look at his absurdity:
That’s wild I could pay off the rest of my mortgage for 120k and own my home finally…
OR you could get a Yoyojam Speeder. 
Anyone paying more than b grade prices on a used nine dragons is wild and honestly even then… that’s iffy
I own one, it’s fun and novel, but had I paid more than the $40 for it that I did, I would be a little mad at myself lol.
Notice the seller screen name is Happiness?
If he ever finally sells that Speeder, he is going to change his name to ‘BeyondHappiness’
This one really gets me because if I could sell a fairly common Dif for $942 …… uh, I think I might just have to suck it up and give the buyer Free Shipping.
I really love how every photo is a youtube still frame, compressed to hell and back.
hey hey! that is a genuine action sports toy. you will show proper respect
